It's been a long while since my last handmade jewellery. Work and life has been keeping me too busy from designing new items. But last weekend I scrimmaged some time to make two pieces of triple-layered necklaces. I love layered necklaces... It really helps to draw attention and dress up an otherwise bare décolletage.

This layered necklace design is triple-layered but is essentially two separate necklaces. You can opt to wear the necklaces separately on different occasions or opt to showcase all three layers by wearing both pieces together. I've also made it so that the necklace serves 2 purposes:(1) Heart Locket to hold a photo/note keepsake close(2) Amethyst/Citrine stone nugget for their gemstone energy and healing powers.

Hope you'll like the design and enjoy reading more about what the chakra energy of Amethyst and Citrine gemstones.

Citrine stones are known to bring happiness, joy and optimism into your life. Keeping an citrine stone close to you aids in the matters of your daily life. It helps to energise, invigorate and comfort you. Healers often use citrine stones to increase self-esteem.Sunshine Heart

Amethyst is known to be a stone of the mind. Keeping an amethyst stone close to you helps to bring about calmness and clarity to an otherwise confused and anxious mind. When your mind is clear of negative thoughts, the amethyst stone will enhance your psychic and intuitive senses.

I'm sure you recognise the line from the fairy tale (made famous by the Brothers Grimm), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Disney animated film of the story is the first movie-length cartoon I remember watching. I also remember the haggard witch (aka. evil stepmother queen) used to frighten me! Ah... but what a wonderful happily ever after ending it was...Definitely a classic animation, with sing-along songs like 'Some day my prince will come' and 'Heigh-ho'. Hehe... my rave of Snow White is somewhat nostalgic and kinda reveals my age...

So here it is, another necklace inspired by the popular fairy tale.Why is the locket a Strawberry instead of an Apple? Beats me. I suppose the Strawberry isn't poisonous...

If you have never read the wonderful story of 'The Little Prince', I suggest you hunt the book down and spend the hour reading its enchanting tale. It is a fantastical and magical story of a little prince who has landed on Earth from another small planet. There the little prince meets the story's narrator, an aviator who has crash landed in the Sahara desert. The little prince then shares his innocent wisdom of love, loneliness and life.

The Little Prince is considered to be one of the greatest literature of all time and you'll understand why it has garnered that title after you've read it. Its simple yet poignant tale teaches us to appreciate the simple things in life and how as we grow older, we lose the imagination we once possessed when we kids.

The story is a personal favourite of mine as you can see by my review.. hehe! I also regard the author, Antoine de Saint Exupéryto be a legendary writer and poet. Some of his best quotes include:You do not inherit the earth from your ancestors: you borrow it from your children.-- On n'hérite pas de la terre de ses ancètres, on l'emprunte à ses enfants. --

It would seem that perfection is attained not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.-- Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien à retrancher. --

ps. Antoine de Saint Exupéryis French, so his works were originally published in French and then translated into English and many other languages worldwide.

So for the inspired and the lovers of The Little Prince, here's a little necklace piece dedicated to you...
